Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman Flying in The F-16 Block 52+ On Pakistan Day Parade.

[I.R.A]

Question arises,
Who was co pilot?

I am no expert but my guess is 0:19 to 0:22 young officer standing behind the Chief.

 

[Burhan Wani]

I stand corrected for some wrong reason I thought you were confusing it with earlier blocks

No i just asked single seater or twin.
Now it is clear.

I am not clear though
just doing my own analysis

Hmm after analysis just share your findings.

You might be right since he's the only one wearing that red scarf other than the ACM.

How?

 

[Sage]

How?

By flying in the rear cockpit ....while everyone thought it was the ACM who was flying all alone and doing those rolls !

Is it possible to fly twin seater jet with one pilot?

Is it possible to fly twin seater jet with one pilot?

It is but no one would fly it solo while on the rear (WSO) seat.

 

[Screambowl]

Didn't know they are still allowed to fly .. but good job marshal

 

[Sage]

Is it possible to fly twin seater jet with one pilot?

Yes it is ...What I mean to say was the ACM played the role of a 'wizzo' since he was in the rear cockpit ...!

You mean A navigator

 

[Sage]

You mean A navigator

Yup !

 

[krash]

there are some inconsistencies but you put a strong case that PAF chief was in fact a passenger not the pilot.

I don't find it a big deal. If I were to make the decision I wouldn't have let the highest ranking air force officer fly alone either. The back seat does point towards the ACM being just a passenger but then the manoeuvre itself wasn't a walk in the park to take upon one's body, let alone a senior one such as the ACM's.

Like Windjammer said, the previous ACM's have flown in 2-seaters as well. Although, at least ACM Tanvir Mahmood Ahmed and ACM Rao Qamar Suleman used to fly in the forward seats.
